However, kissing is the most common cause of this viral infection. It has been studied that large number of cases of Mononucleosis are teenagers and college students. Fortunately, complications are rare and hospitalization is not required for most cases.

EBV can be neutralized by our natural antibodies which are commonly visible in the blood. This means that a person can be or been infected by the virus sometime in their lives. An increased in blood lymphocytes is the most common form of Mononucleosis.

Good thing about this virus is that it cannot cause us serious harm. An individual can develop an immunity from the disease from the first infection, making your body immune for the next possible infection. However, the virus can still be transmittable to others during the next few weeks of carrying the disease.

Common Health Beliefs To Avoid


Health is one of the most important topic to discuss in any forum or conversation. With so many customs and beliefs about health in different cultures, you have to wonder what is right and what is not really beneficial. I have gathered some common health beliefs that you might already know and hopefully will give you some light on its truth reality.

1. Low fat foods constitutes to low calorie intake
All foods that are marketed as "low fat" or "less fat" doesn't mean that it has no fat content at all. As you know, less fat means less calorie intake, but products that are promoted as low fat simply means that its actual fat content was only reduced. This means that you are also ingesting high amount of fats in your regular diet. I suggest that you read the label carefully before you believe what a certain "low fat" products are trying to lure you from.

2. Single cigarette won't have any health effects
Many smokers believes that a single cigarette stick a day or two will have no negative effects in the body. Well guess what? A single cigarette puff immediately affects the central nervous system and increases the blood sugar level and heart rate twice compared to a non-smokers. This is the reason why most smokers are diabetic and has cardiovascular diseases. What more to those who chain smoke?

health beliefs3. Commercial fruit juices are healthy
With today's commercial world, all foods are marketed as health friendly products especially those green teas, orange and prune juices and many more. But not all these products are good for you. These are artificial products which contains less natural content for what it is actually promoting. Fruit juices that are easily be obtained in a bottle in supermarkets can cause severe urinary tract infections, kidney and liver disorders and stomach aches. If you want to have a real healthy juice drink, the best thing to do is to prepare your own natural fruit juices at home.

4. Using the best cooking oil is not dangerous
It is true that popular cooking oils such as vegetable oil, canola oil, corn oil and olive oil do possess some health benefits especially the olive type. But did you know that using it for frying can also diminish its health benefits? Yes, heating up oils will reduced its health promoting properties but it still does not pose any health hazards. The only time it gets dangerous is when you use the oil twice or three times making it carcinogenic (cancer agent). This is the reason why most governments had issued that eating in fast food chains must be limited because these companies tend to maximize their profit by recycling their cooking oils over and over again.

5. Gym work is the best physical activity
People today are so conscious about their physical appearances. They tend to go facial spas, clinics and the gym just to look attractive and physically fit. But people are substituting the gym from natural physical activities. A study had concluded that people who spends three times in the gym on a weekly basis have reduced fewer calories than those people who are physically active without any regular workout plan. People who tends to walk, ride a bicycle and doing some house chores are much better than spending more time in the gym, plus it is much less expensive!

These are the most common health beliefs that are renowned worldwide. If you are one of those people who actually believes in these myths, you must think again and reconsider what I have just written in this article. Be objective especially in health, be conscious especially in your environment. Love you body and love your health!

Main Causes Of Heart Attack


Cardiovascular disease is the main cause of human deaths worldwide. According to World Health Organization, an estimated twelve million deaths each year is caused by heart problems which is responsible for half of all deaths in the United States.

heart attackHigh Blood cholesterol.Cholesterol is a fat-like substance carried in your blood, is found all over body's cell structure. Our liver is the producer of all cholesterol in our body which needs to form cell membranes and to form some hormones. Extra unnecessary cholesterol coming from animals like eggs, meats and diary products enters your body when you eat some of this foods. These foods does not constitute mainly for the increase of your blood cholesterol, the main culprit is the saturated fats found on these foods. Saturated fats can be found in butter fat in milk, cooking oils, fats from red meat and chicken skin.

Diabetes. Most death caused by diabetes had cardiovascular complications especially type II diabetes. If you know you already have diabetes, consult your doctor immediately to control your blood sugar because it helps decrease the risk of heart problems.
No Exercise. I am always saying this to all of my articles. An active person keeps himself away from serious diseases and this includes cardiovascular problems. Exercise burns calories, fats, keeps your sugar level at normal and reduces your bad cholesterol.
Heredity. Most heart disease cases are family related. If your family history like your father, had a cardiovascular problem before the age 50, chances are you are in greater risk of having the same sickness. High blood pressure and diabetes has the same trait.

Age. As we age, we are at risk to many diseases especially heart diseases. Our hearts muscles deteriorates when we age leaving the pulse rate below normal level. The hearts wall thickens, arteries became stiff and the heart does not have enough energy to pump blood to all over the body.

Other contributing factors are obesity, smoking, stress, too much alcohol intake, birth control pills and sex hormones. All this has a significant effect to the health of our heart. Be sure to be moderate on a lot of things we know that is bad for our heart.

We only have one heart and we must learn to love and care for it. We should not be abusive to a good lifestyle that is not health friendly.

Spending more time in bed, carriers or seats with the head resting back, it will likely develop a flat head on that spot of the head. Every infants are prone to flat head but premature infants do have higher risks as their skulls are much more less developed and softer. Premature infants also spends the majority of their time lying flat until they develop strength. 

If you notice that your infant is starting to develop a flat spot in the head, you need to vary the baby's sleeping position from lying flat, to side to side to reverse the effects of the flattened skull. You may switch the crib positions alternately which also release the pressure on one side of your baby's head. A flat head can still be corrected within its first year but it's unlikely to be molded back beyond the first year as the baby's skull is fully developed and strong.

Also, spend more time carrying your baby out of its crib or bed. Instead of leaving your baby in a crib, try to place the baby on the mothers belly. This exercise will improve strength in neck and back muscles.

If you think your baby already have a flat head, you may consult your pediatrician as immediately as possible for any medical recommendations or treatments.
